Celebrating the July 29 Blu-ray debut of the visually stunning epic “NOAH” starring Russell Crowe, the sweepstakes will offer entrants the chance to travel to one of the planet’s most pristine destinations where animals have no instinctive fear of humans. The grand-prize winner will receive a ten-day trip for two aboard the National Geographic Endeavour to the Galápagos Archipelago, a rare wilderness where visitors can snorkel, kayak and hike among species such as sea lions, domed giant tortoises, marine iguanas and Galápagos penguins. Fans can enter the sweepstakes once per day. Complete rules can be found at www.nationalgeographic.com/noahsweepstakes.

To further celebrate the home entertainment arrival of “NOAH,” National Geographic Channel will screen a special programming event on July 26 from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. The Channel will air three specials that focus on the Bible and Noah: “Living in the Time of Jesus: Crime and Punishment,” “Search for Noah’s Ark” and “Diving into Noah’s Flood.”

Filled with “grit, grace and visual wonders [that] never cease” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone), “NOAH” arrives on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and VOD on July 29. The Blu-ray Combo pack includes over an hour of in-depth, behind-the-scenes special features that delve into bringing this epic story to the screen, filming on location in the exotic landscapes of Iceland and the colossal undertaking of creating the massive, life-sized ark.
